Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?  

Closed Threads

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Just finished tutoring. Spent, quite seriously, forty five minutes on the definition of the word "solution." Like, OK. If you've got an equation, say 3x + 2 = 8, then the solution is x = 2. He'd keep saying he understood that, but then we'd get to a problem asking to compare the solution of one equation to the solution of another, related equation, he'd look at that and say that the solution is 8. Because that's what's on the right side of the equals sign.

Now, I can understand coming into this class without having really thought about precisely defining the terms in that way. But, it's a ten-second definition, if that. There's nothing to understand there. Forty-five minutes of me finding more and more ways to explain it and him saying he didn't understand.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Yikes, Hil. What finally triggered him understanding it? Or, did he?

Hil, how frustrating for you.

I just ate the most yummy Greek dinner, followed by peach ice cream, and now I'm drinking prosecco. I'm totally spoiled.
